Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I learn English Country Dance?
Learn with us! We teach each dance before we do it, and will walk through it until we all feel comfortable.

Is there a fee?
We ask for a two dollar donation to help cover the cost of renting our dancing space.

Is this dance style difficult to learn?
If you can walk, and you know your left from your right, you can learn English Country Dance. We promise.

Do I need to bring a partner?
Partners are not required. But feel free to bring as many people with you as you like. The more the merrier!

I don't have any of those fancy clothes. What should I wear?
You don't need to get all gussied up just for us! Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. We are VERY casual. You might want to wear shoes with soles that slip, not grip, if you have some. Some of us dance barefoot too! Paper hats are optional.

What time period do these dances come from?
We mostly do 18th and 19th century-style dances. We might sneak in a few that are earlier or later. You just never know...

Take a look at some movies from the Williamsburg Ball to get an idea of what kind of dancing we do.
